Most Australians say... 'purpose at work matters more than pay', REALLY??? Reading that shocked me. I get it, meaningful work sounds great… but honestly, I’m happier with better pay. Am I alone in feeling this way? Do you agree that purpose really comes first?

I’ve been out of school since September and haven’t been able to find a job. I apply for about 12 everyday and I never hear anything back. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing a similar problem? Any tips for it to not mess with my head

I have been at the same hospitality venue for 6 years. I can’t see myself being in this for the rest of my life and I know that I need to change it up but have no idea on what to do

I'm trying to start my career I'm doing something I'm passionate about but I'm getting really disheartened because I don't think anyone wants me and I want to show everybody that I'm worth something I have lots of clearances and more I would like a job where I can help people and if you think I would be suitable I wouldn't mind talking to someone about this helping me get into position where I can help people

I need advice on how to build a good professional network and my current network isn't very helpful or active. How can I expand my network in other directions, so my connections are useful for referrals? Has anyone had a good experience with professional networking events and what were they?

This job search is starting to mess with my head. Some days I feel hopeful... good interview, good chat, maybe this is it. Then days pass, nothing comes back, or the role gets reposted like it never happened. If you’ve been through this, how did you stop it from wrecking your confidence? What actually helped?

Am I cooked? Dropped out of uni due to anxiety and personal issues, but I need a job to get out of my living situation (horrible roommates). What jobs can I do that don't require a degree or certificate or experience? I can move anywhere and will do basically anything to get on my feet. What are the best options for getting a job quickly?

I'm almost 36 and have never had a 'career'. I've been a SAHM for nearly 13 years, working odd jobs here and there. Latest was 2 years in a café and I absolutely hated it. I have worked in child safety and have a half completed Cert IV, but hated that job too and never want to work in the industry again. I also hate studying and don't have 3-5 years to commit to something I have no passion for. So how do people know what they want to do and find a job they don't hate?

Is job hopping really a red flag? I don't see how anyone can not be a "job hopper" these days, it's just not how things work anymore. I want to know if having lots of casual or part-time roles is hurting chances of getting a FT job?
